Most golf fans agreed with him.

King Carol held another secret confab with Yugoslavia's regent, Prince Paul...
Today the Varsity golf team is perched at the top of the heap in the Northern half of the Eastern Intercollegiate circuit, but last weekend's victories over Brown and Dartmouth were only dress rehearsals for the crucial tests on this week's golfing calendar. Powerful Williams rolls into town tomorrow afternoon to do battle with the Hoddermen on Belmont, while Holy Cross and Yale follow in rapid succession on Saturday. The Crusaders should be a rather soft touch, but the Elis will be out for blood, anxious to avenge two straight lickings at the hands of Harvard...
